They may be but at the same time I'm trying to get some context here. Is he actually trolling, juvenile or god-forbid mentally disadvantaged in which case I would truly feel horrible about some of my responses to him. I obviously should have asked this before.

He's not trolling or juvenile. Let's take it easy with him. He's a fan.

I agree, he's a newby here. Sometimes you need to write it out to think it through. We can't expect everyone to be a superfan and really know what is going on.

Honestly...I don't know what to think any more.

I don't go to the MLS website that much anymore, but I just went there to see whatever they had on last night's game. I couldn't find ANYTHING on it. I don't think it is just the new format, I think maybe they haven't posted any articles at all about the game. Is that possible? Or is their website just too horendous now to be able to find it? I went to News, and eventually was able to find a "More" button and went back a couple pages that seemed to be from back when MLS games were still being played (no dates on the links though).

I just went back to make sure I wasn't crazy. I ended up using Search and found this article, from before the game. It's the only thing from June I can find related to Canada (not counting a Tajon article about interest from Europe).

The home page is absolutely plastered with Nations League stuff of course.

Literally just had the same thought and experience @Kent- But I’m not surprised.

Obviously if not for the Canadian MLS teams I would’ve been over the league by now.

Found it funny(and sad) that both TSN and Sportsnet both reported the game at the 42 minute of the hour long sportsnews.

I've come across a couple great tweets in regards to the One Soccer struggles during this game.  I for one, had to refresh every 5 to 10 minutes.

I wish I had the other tweet that had this screen in the middle of one of those "Canadian Heritage Moments".

There's also fact that Soccer United Marketing (owned by MLS) is the promotion company for Nations League

“Numerous hospitalizations of soccer fans were reported across Canada for blood-alcohol poisoning on Saturday night.”

They just have match facts. Though, stats tab has some decent charts.
